Description
Cryopreserved human astrocytes differentiated from iPSCs, used mainly as the supporting glial partner in neuronal co-culture and as a standalone model for neuroinflammation work. Astrocyte co-culture is the single most common reason a neuronal culture that should have matured on a multi-electrode array does not, so this SKU is usually bought as a companion to a neuron order rather than on its own. iXCells lists Human Astrocytes (iPSC-derived, Normal), 40HU-008, at $1,081.00, live-verified 2026-09-01, with PSEN2 N141I and Parkinson's sporadic variants at $1,246.00. Axol lists astrocytes of at least 1 million cells at $830, and FUJIFILM CDI lists iCell Astrocytes 2.0 from $1,109 and an astrocyte kit from $1,299. Rodent astrocytes are substantially cheaper where species is not a constraint — iXCells rat astrocytes are $482.
Why this is hard to buy today
Neuron and astrocyte SKUs are usually bought from different vendors with incompatible media, and nobody sells the pair as a validated co-culture package with a stated ratio.

These are supplier list prices we located and recorded, not a quotation from Wetware World. Your price depends on quantity, specification and freight, and is only binding once issued in writing.
What you must specify
A quote cannot be produced without these. Anything you leave open, a supplier will assume — usually expensively.

|---|---|
| 01 | Species (human iPSC-derived / rat / mouse) |
| 02 | Genotype or disease background |
| 03 | Cell count and vial quantity |
| 04 | Co-culture ratio target against a companion neuron order |
| 05 | Media and coating package |
